The Star
Astrology: Aquarius | Element: Air | Hebrew: צ (Tzaddi) | Kabbalah: 28. Tzaddi 【Victory - Foundation】
Whenever night falls, a girl draped in sheer gauze is lifted into the sky by the immense statue of the god of darkness. One by one, she crafts the stars. The stars she lights up shimmer every night, accompanying every traveler on the road. Stars connect and combine, forming constellations that drift upward—at once the tears of the night, and the faint light and guidance that pierce the darkness.
Symbolism:
The Hand of the Colossal Statue: The five fingers represent the five human senses. The palm reaches from the clouds toward the sky, symbolizing the connection between the senses and the subconscious.
Eight-Pointed Star on the Fingernails: Represents the human senses.

Advice: When a single star cannot light the night, and constellations are obscured by darkness, you must create more points of support for yourself. One anchor may seem insignificant, but many together can illuminate the sky. Identify the reasons for failure, consider more practical solutions and actionable steps, and begin with small, concrete actions—one step at a time.
